I have an Oracle 8i database that I'm trying to create a standby copy offor testing / possible future DR use. The database is in ARCHIVELOGmode.=20On the master database, I have placed each tablespace in turn intobackup mode, copied the underlying datafile, then turned off backupmode. I have taken copies of the control files.=20I put these on my standby database and copied all the archivedtransaction logs (for a period of before, during, and substantiallyafter the period of the backups) to that server too.=20I am then attempting to do a recovery using:=20open mount exclusiverecover database using backup controlfile=20The recover process starts OK taking, as I expected, the first log fromthe point where backups started and rolling them forward one by one.However, it is never satisfied. It never says anything along the linesof 'backup complete' - it wants more and more archived logs, and whenthere are none left it still wants more, even though the transactionlogs it's now applying are substantially later than the backups taken.=20If I CANCEL out of the recovery and attempt to=20alter database open resetlogs=20I get=20=20ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recoveryORA-01110: data file 1: '/u03/oracle/oradata/v7/system01.dbf'=20Why is it doing this when I have fed it every single transaction logavailable? None are missing.=20Thanks for any assistance,=20-Matt=20----------------------------------------------------------------Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com----------------------------------------------------------------To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@(protected)put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line.--Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html-----------------------------------------------------------------
